The problem this year was the lack of sites due to bark beetle, flooding, excess snow or fires. Next year, let's pick our dates first and give everyone a chance to put in for their vacation time for those dates. That way we can reserve campsites 5 months in advance.

The lack of sites definitely didn't help.

Turns out it's a good thing I didn't go. Blew a CV boot completely off the axle somehow just a few days before. Spent most of Friday doing maintenance I'd been putting off (flushed diffs, transfer case, oil change, lubed all driveshafts, swapped the CV axle). Broke my torque wrench and breaker bar on that damn axle nut so I could only do one side . I've got an impact gun in the mail
